Coke a Cola Cases and Glass Bottles


Coke a cola cases and glass coke bottles are art in themselves, and the art in this form is rarely seen anymore because we have resorted to plastic. Plastic is now being used because of the risk of breaking the crates or bottles while shipping and not to mention cheaper and easier to produce over any other material.


I think that it is more comforting to drink out of a glass bottle than it is to drink out of a plastic bottle or aluminum can. In America it is a privlage to get coke in a bottle because it is so rare. For me I enjoy drinking things out of glass because it makes you feel older and more superior. It brings me to the point where you have to ask the question "Would you rather drink coke out of a glass bottle or out of a plastic bottle?". Your response may be based off of function or off of form.


I would really like to make a survey asking whether people like drinking out of a plastic bottle or can over a glass bottle or vice versa. It would be really interesting to find out cultural reasons why people do what they do.


This really inspires me to make a set of bottles out of clay, fired to ^10 that people can drink coke a cola out of over plastic and aluminum, which both destroy our environment.


I could also connect this project to saving the environment because plastic is a bad material for the environment and is not always reusable, where as bottles can be.
